This 16th episode of The Pain Beat highlights the work of a vibrant consortium of pain researchers working on a project known as Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures (A2CPS). A2CPS is focused on the identification of biomarkers to predict which patients will transition from acute to chronic pain, and which patients living with chronic pain can improve their quality of life with management (see related PRF news story). The Pain Beat invited several Primary Investigators from A2CPS to talk about the work of the consortium, and how listeners of The Pain Beat can get involved themselves!

Podcast participants include:

• Kathleen Sluka, PT, PhD, FAPTA, A2CPS Principal Investigator; University of Iowa, USA
• John Burns, PhD, A2CPS Principal Investigator; Rush University Medical Center, Illinois, USA
• Chad Brummett, MD, A2CPS Principal Investigator; University of Michigan, USA
• Michael Olivier, PhD, A2CPS Principal Investigator; Wake Forest University, North Carolina, USA.
